Don’t have the time or money to take a Chilean vacation, but still want to experience the South American flavor? Puro Chile in Soho is a new concept store aiming to give customers a chance to experience all aspects of Chile’s culture right here in New York City. With high definition pictures of the country’s landscapes projected through out the store, visitors can feel like they are surrounded by cascading mountains while shopping for smoked razor clams, avacado oil, and native spice mixes from the specialty grocery. Much of the shop showcases a giant selection of the country’s popular wines like Matetic and Odfjell. Because Chile is considered one of the most environmentally conscious nations, the shop features some of the most eco-friendly designers of the country selling handbags, jewelry, and home goods. To make the space even more authentic, Chilean architect Felipe Assadi designed the shop. Puro Chile is located at 161 Grand Street, offering some great holiday gift options!
